Since 1997, he has been the leader of the Family Coalition Party, a socially conservative political party in Ontario that started in 1987 and ran between 36 and 76 candidates in the 20 years since its inception. The party wanted to run candidates in every riding in the 2007 Ontario provincial election, but managed candidates in only 83 of the 107 ridings.

He worked as an Assistant Professor at Pisa for three years, and has also been a visiting professor at the University of Western Ontario. Gori has held positions at IBM, Canada Systems Group and GEAC Computers, and is now the president of Gori Canada Diffusion Inc. and Central Dynamics, Inc., which produces a "swimming treadmill" described at: riverpool.com. He has also published music books for children under the title, "Music You Can Read", introducing a new method for writing and reading music.

Gori replaced Donald Pennell as leader of the FCP in 1997. Like other members of his party, he is pro-life (from conception to natural death) and supports what he describes as "traditional family values". Gori is also a supporter of a more proportional system of representation (Mixed Member Proportional).
